[last lines]::Young Doc: No! It can't be; I just sent you back to the future!::Marty McFly: No, I know; you *did* send me back to the future. But I'm back - I'm back *from* the future.::Young Doc: Great Scott!::[Doc faints]::Marty McFly: Doc! Doc! Doc! Oh, fantastic.
Biff Tannen: That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.::Marty McFly: [under his breath] It's "screen door on a submarine," you dork.

[Flying above Biff in 1955]::Marty McFly: There he is, Doc! Let's land on him, we'll cripple his car.::Doc: Marty, he's in a '46 Ford, we're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil.

Taglines: He's the only kid ever to get into trouble before he was born. [UK] He was never in time for his classes . . .Then one day he wasn't in his time at all. 17 year old Marty McFly got home early last night. 30 years early. He was never in time for his classes... He wasn't in time for his dinner... Then one day... he wasn't in his time at all. Marty McFly's having the time of his life. The only question is -- what time is it? Meet Marty McFly. He's broken the time barrier. Busted his parents' first date. And, maybe, botched his chances of ever being born. Marty McFly just broke the time barrier. He's only got one week to get it fixed.
Quotes:
George McFly: Last night, Darth Vader came down from Planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out, that he'd melt my brain.
Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?::Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
[1955 Doc is watching a video of 1985 Doc]::Dr. Emmett Brown: What on Earth is this thing I'm wearing?::Marty McFly: Ah, this, this is a radiation suit.::Dr. Emmett Brown: Radiation suit? Of course. 'Cause of all the fallout from the atomic wars.

Mr. Strickland: I noticed your band is on the roster for the dance auditions after school today. Why even bother, McFly? You don't have a chance. You're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!::Marty McFly: Yeah, well, history is gonna change.
[repeated line]::Marty McFly: If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.
Biff Tannen: Mr. McFly! Mr. McFly, this just arrived. Oh, hi, Marty. I think it's your new book.::Lorraine Baines: Oh, honey! Your first novel.::George McFly: Like I've always told you, you put your mind to it, you can accomplish *anything*.::Biff Tannen: Oh, Marty. Marty, here's your keys. You're all waxed up, ready for tonight.::Marty McFly: Keys?
Marty McFly: "Too loud." I can't believe it. I'm never gonna get a chance to play in front of anybody.::Jennifer Parker: Marty, one rejection isn't the end of the world.::Marty McFly: Nah, I just don't think I'm cut out for music.::Jennifer Parker: But you're good, Marty. You're really good, and this audition tape of yours is great. You've gotta send it in to the record company. It's like Doc's always saying.::Marty McFly: Yeah, I know. I know. "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."::[Marty notices two girls walk by and looks at them]::Jennifer Parker: [turns Marty's head back to her] That's good advice, Marty.::Marty McFly: All right, okay, Jennifer. What if I send in the tape in and they don't like it? What if they say I'm no good? What if they say, "Get out of here kid. You've got no future"? I mean, I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection. Jesus, I'm starting to sound like my old man.::Jennifer Parker: Come on. He's not that bad. At least he's letting you borrow the car tomorrow night.::Marty McFly: [sees a tow truck pull up with a 4x4 Toyota on the flat bed] Check out that 4x4. That is hot. Someday, Jennifer. Someday. Wouldn't it be great to take that truck up to the lake? Throw a couple of sleeping bags in the back. Lie out underneath the stars.::Jennifer Parker: Stop it.::Marty McFly: What?::Jennifer Parker: Does your mom know? About tomorrow night?::Marty McFly: No, get out of town. My mom thinks I'm going camping with the guys. Look, Jennifer, my mother would freak out if she knew I was going out with you, and I'd get the standard lecture about how she never did that kind of stuff when she was a kid. I mean, look, I think the woman was born a nun.::Jennifer Parker: She's just trying to keep you respectable.::Marty McFly: Well, she's not doing a very good job.::Jennifer Parker: Terrible.
Biff Tannen: And where's my reports?::George McFly: Well, I haven't finished those up yet, but you know, I... I figured since they weren't due till...::Biff Tannen: Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Huh? Think, McFly. Think! I gotta have time to get them retyped. Do you realize what would happen if I hand in my reports in your handwriting? I'll get fired. You wouldn't want that to happen, would ya? Would ya?::George McFly: Of course not, Biff. Now, I wouldn't want that to happen. Now, look. I'll, uh, finish those reports on up tonight, and I'll run 'em on over first thing tomorrow, all right?::Biff Tannen: Not too early. I sleep in Saturday. Oh, McFly, your shoe's untied.::[jabs his finger up to George's face]::Biff Tannen: Don't be so gullible, McFly. Got the place fixed up nice, though, McFly.
